January 20, 201411 yr Author Poor brave Belarus, cut off from Ukraine and Russia :lol: Russia in SF1 again (in fact we've NEVER been in SF2 iirc) LMAO.
January 20, 201411 yr Just to add, the automatic qualifiers will vote in the following semi-finals: Semi final 1: Denmark, France and Spain Semi final 2: Germany, Italy and United Kingdom
January 20, 201411 yr The first semi-final seems to have by far the most countries that are regular qualifiers and/or regularly send high quality entries! Also, the only good thing for San Marino is that they are in the 2nd half of the semi final but they are in the bigger semi-final and away from Italy and Malta who I'm guessing are the most likely countries to vote for them.
January 20, 201411 yr Author Semi 1 has like only Sweden, Iceland, Russia, Azerbaijan and Ukraine on certain because the rest might easily send something super shit and DNQ. Netherlands are sending some country MoRness, Armenia - Aram mp3 (yup!), Montenegro have an old fart dad rocker, Latvia will be shit as usual. Estonia and Hungary are more likely to be crap than not. That's already 6 potential DNQs :magic: (Of course provided that Valentina's song will be GOOD in the first place) Plus, let us not forget we have a SMALLER CONTEST now with only 6 missing out in Semi 1! Poor brave Monetta SHRINKING Semifinals by performing in them. SHE IS KILLING EUROVISION. 18->17->16->...->1 (YAASSSS) :lol:
January 20, 201411 yr I'm quite pleased with that draw. Aside from poor San Marino and Montenegro ending up in the 'tough' semi, it looks fairly well balanced, with the big blocs losing at least a couple of their more dominant members to the opposite semi (if the ex-Soviets have 7 vs 3 then with fringe members like Estonia, Armenia and Moldova in the bigger half it evens it out slightly) and small blocs like the Germanic trio, the Low Country duo etc together which'll help their (sometimes harder) cause.
January 20, 201411 yr Just to add, the automatic qualifiers will vote in the following semi-finals: Semi final 1: Denmark, France and Spain SF1 looks like a VERY GOOD scenario for Portugal.
January 20, 201411 yr The only one I know it's curtains for is Albania (of the one's we've heard that is, still clinging onto the hope for San Marino).
January 20, 201411 yr I hope Catarina is putting in the TIME on her choreography. If we get another fado snooze I'm OUT
January 20, 201411 yr Ireland in the 2nd half AGAIN. With the UK voting. And the smaller semi. AND with all the dud countries. All good signs. :D

January 20, 201411 yr I hope Catarina is putting in the TIME on her choreography. If we get another fado snooze I'm OUT She BETTER! And we never really had proper fado. All we had so far was balkan ballads.
January 29, 201411 yr Norway are missing Sweden, Denmark, Iceland, Estonia and Latvia, which usally are in the same pot as Norway. We got Finland though... :lol: at UK voting in diffrent semis every year SF2 2008 SF1 2009 SF2 2010 SF1 2011 SF2 2012 SF1 2013 SF2 2014
